This page is designed to help students with various projects through the use of digital notetakers and pathfinders for using the library databases. Students should familiarize themselves with the process of making a copy (bit.ly/gomakecopy) of these google docs to their own google drives.
Make use of the resources at earlhaig.ca/library and use p23-24 of your agenda for passwords to access the rich, reliableresources of the Library Databases. Use the Green Research Guide (agenda p23 for password) to help direct your research.

Cite all sources using the database's cite/citation feature. See more on citation here.
